We’re absolutely delighted to share some exciting news Elms Barn has been recognised as one of the UK’s best wedding venues, winning in the Barn Wedding Venues category at the Guides for Brides Customer Service Awards 2026.
This national recognition means so much to our team, not only because of its prestige, but because it’s based entirely on real feedback from our couples.
A Win Built on Real Weddings & Real Experiences
The awards, hosted by Guides for Brides, celebrate outstanding customer service across the UK wedding industry. Winners are chosen based on genuine reviews left by couples throughout the year highlighting venues and suppliers who consistently go above and beyond.
To be selected from hundreds of wedding businesses across the country is an incredible honour, and one that reflects the heart of everything we do here at Elms Barn.
As Nikita Thorne, Head of Strategy at Guides for Brides, shared:
“Couples are entering the wedding planning process more informed and more discerning than ever before, and they expect genuine care, clear communication and consistency at every touchpoint… we’ve seen a shared dedication to going above and beyond for couples, creating experiences that feel personal, seamless and memorable.”

From your very first visit to the moment you say goodbye as newlyweds, our team is dedicated to making sure you feel confident, cared for, and able to fully enjoy every moment of your wedding day.
This award is a reflection of that commitment and of the incredible couples we’ve had the privilege of working with.
Kind Words from Our Couples
Nothing means more to us than hearing about your experiences. One recent couple shared:
“We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism and care that it allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment…
The grounds are immaculate and beautifully maintained, with picture-perfect spots everywhere you look. Our guests were blown away by the gardens and the charm of the barn itself it made for the most gorgeous backdrop to our day.
But what really made our experience exceptional was our wedding coordinator, Ruth… We genuinely felt like we were in the best possible hands. The whole team at Elms Barn delivered outstanding quality and service… We’ll always be so grateful for the incredible memories they helped us create.”
